Throughout tthe country. 1t was urged that
employers, having powerful national or

Chicago was made the battle ground by
the builders, therefore tle conference
should be held here, and the
challenge OF the National Build
ers' Association accepted. Joseph

OF the scheme. 1t was finally agreed to

ers, steam and gas filters, painters, brick
layers and st0ne-cutters, none of whom
belonged to the Chicago. Building Trades
Council. They will be asked to send del
